FEELING IN NEW YOBK!
Sterling Exchange.
PANIC IN BALTIMORE !!
COTTON MARKKTS, ETC., ETC.
Special Dispatch to the Hoc* too
The steamship Orizaba arrived at her
wharf at 11,- A. M. io-d^y. She brings
New Orleans dates of 21st, and one day
later from Europe. Her adrioos are of an
important character. .
N*w Tomx, Not. 20.—The steamship
Glasgow, from Lhrerpool via Queens town,
arrired at this port to-day. She left Liv-
erpool on Wednesday, 7th inst., touched at
Qneenstown the evening of the following
day, and brings one day's later intelli-
gence than was received by the Yaader-
bilt.
Lryntpoot, Nov. &—The sales of cot-
ton in Liverpool the past two days, in-
cluding Thursday, embraced 20,000 bales,
of which 9,000 were taken on speculation.
The market closed generally quiet at last
Friday's quotations.
N«w Yoke, Nov. 20.—Afar better feel-
ing existed in the financial and business
circles here to-day. In addition to agree-
ing among themselves to purchase two and
a half million sterling bills, the principal
Banks are also discounting more freely.—
This eases up matters greatly,'and puts the
crups again in motion.
In consequence of this new order of
things stocks also went up at a bound to-
day, several per cent, higher and with in-
creased confidence all around.
The Bank of Commerce will superintend
the purchase of the two and a half millions
sterling bills for the joint benefit of the
associate banks.
Baltimore, Nov. 20.—The ^business
panic here in consequence of the political
excitement at the South is terrible. The
merchants are not doing scarcely anything,
and the banks are unable to accomodate
them. Stocks of all iinds have also again
further declined in consequence of these
troubles. The people here are beginning
to sympathise considerably in the political
movements of the South, they continue,
however, to stand firmly by the Union, but
in this stand they are begining to be de-
termined in their demand upon the North
for certain guarantees, that the slavery
question shall no longer be agitated. They
also asks of the extreme South that in their
movements of resistance they oonsider and
respect the rights and interests of the bor-
der slave holding States remain in the Un-
ion and sustain them in this demand.
Nsw Tnx, Nov. 19.—There is a great
depression in stocks here, and the beat se-
curities are seriously lower. There is also
a decrease in lr-.ns. The specie circula-
tion and deposits, the past week, amounted
to 7,000,000. Fifteen of the principal city
banks met and unanimously resolved to
unite on the purchase of 2,600,000 staling
bills, paying in proportion to their capital.
They also resolved to expand during the
week five per cent, beyond their receipts,
and recommended the same couise to other
city banks.
Wahhisgtok Nov. 19.—CoL Henry K.
Craig, chief officer in the ordnance depart-
ment has been detained to inspect the gov-
ernment arsenals and armories.
NiwTobk, Nov. 19.—The cotton mark-
et closed at nominal prices.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON MATtlTRT
Nnw Okliass, Nov. 20.
COTTON—The demand was somewhat
stimulated to-day, by, there being some
market for exchange, at the ruling rates,
and the sales consequently summed up 7,-
600bales Prices however, continued too
irregular and the market not sufficiently
settled to enable us to give general quota-
tions. Middling sold at 10}@10J and 10}
and dome small lots were reported under
the Inside figures.

THE TI.1IKS.
Editor Tklxgraph.—About a fortnight
ago the Presidential election took place,
and within that brief period the monetary
and commercial affairs of the country have
become seriously deranged, in fact, they
are rapidly assuming the complexion of
the panio of '57. The Sooth, tis true, is
strong at the moment, in resources, but if
the political excitement continues as likely
it will, wider the best view of the case, for
some months, business must soon be pros-
trated. The depreciation in the value of
our staple, in consequence of the scarcity
of money, growing out of the difficulty, or
impossibility rather of negotiating Bills
of Exchange, since the first of this month
is not less than one cent a pound. The pres-
ent state of things, though not entirely
unexpected, has taken many by surprise,
by the rapidity with which it has been
developed. Honey was cheap and plenty
three weeks since, in New York and New
Orleans, for all legitimate purposes, and
the Souitern demand for gold at the North
would, ordinarily, have created but little
pressure, but just now the deep concern-
ment universally felt as to the course events
may take, fills the minds of capitalists with
alarm, and the dread of the future has
locked up for the present the active means
of the conn try. Notwithstanding the em-
barrassments that are likely to affect busi-
ness of every kind in the present political
crisis, they may be counted as trifling, if
in our efforts to our equality in
the Union or onr Independence out of it
no worse results ensue. To attempt to pre-
dict the course of events the next ninety
days would be a waste of time. The South-
ern movement has been inaugurated as
becomes freemen—men who knowing their
rights, dare maintain them. With the ex-
ception of a few ardent and impulsive
spirits, the people of the Southern Slates
evince the calmness of a deliberate deter-
mination to stay the tide of Black Repub-
lican aggression, peacibly if they can, but
forcible if they must. The exigencies of
the case are understood, and under the gui-
dance and direction of State authority, full
expression will soon be given to public sen-
timent. The question resolves itself into
one of two solutions, either granting to the
South all the guarantees that she may re-
quire, to set at rest forever the agitation of
the slavery question, or the severance of
the confederated bond, the permanent polit-
ical separation of the cotton States from
the quasi alliance now existing. If the
latter, then let it come, for weal or for woe.
No sober thinking, reflecting Southern man
who has pondered on the' subject can en-
tertain, for a moment, any doubts upon the
wisdom of severing a connection which
promises, if undisturbed, to be fatal to us
and our best interests. While we may be
more anxious than hopeful, on certain
conditions, for the maintenance of the
Union, and while we deeply deplore the
condition of things brought about .in a
measure by the lamentable apathy exhib-
ited by the American people, for years past,
in the exercise of their political duties, as
it were inviting men without capacity or
principle to fill the Legislative Halls, to
occupy places of trust, honor and profit,
until the standard morally and intellec-
tually of official and political capacity has
been degraded to a point unprecedented
in modern history, yet we cannot disguise
the fttct that permanent good may yet come
out of the present troubles, if it will teach
our people to regard properly their indiv-
idual privileges as citizens of a free gov-
ernment, to cherish them and exercise them
judiciously when occasion demands. This
is eminently an utilitarian age, and the
pursuit of individual interest has swallow-
ed up the publio good. The principles of
our government, free as air, as available
in practice to the humblest as to the highest
citizen, are consequently susceptible of
gross abuse. The designing, shrewd, and
corrupt have naturally taken advantage of
the general indifference as to how public
affairs go on, and at last a crisis has been
precipitated, which the best men in every
section deplore, and if the nation survives
it, it will at least teach us a lesson not soon
to be forgotten, that If our liberties are
worth preserving they must be sedulously
watched aad carefully guarded, and im-
posing a sacred and solemn duty upon
every citizen in the State and country to
properly appreciate the inestimable value
of the right of suffrage. Those who esteem
it so lightly as to neglect to exercise it, are
equally guilty with those who grossly mis-
apply it. *.
1'afctlc HecUas at Independence.
A large and enthusiastic meeting assem-
bled at Independence on the 17th inst., to
take into consideration the proper course
to be pursued in view of Lincoln's election
to the Presidency. Shubrick Harsh, Esq.
called to the chair, and T. T. Clay,
Esq., appointed Secretary. The meeting
was then addressed in explanation of its
otiject by John Alexander, Esq., and Br.
J. B. Robertson, after wnich it was unan-
imously resolved that, Texas being a sov-
ereign and co-equal State of this Union,
cannot without loss of self-respeot, and the
good opinion of the world, submit to the
threatened degradation foreshadowed by
the triumph of Black Bepublican princi-
ples in the election of Lincoln and Hamb-
lin, and that the Union can anly be pre-
served by such guarantees from the North-
ern States as will restore the equality of
the States in the Union, and farther, that
the compact made by the government of
the United States with Texas on her annex-
ation having been disregarded and broken
on the one part, is not binding on the oth-
er. Previous to the meeting the Lone Star
iaghad once more been given to the breeze
aad hailed with acclamation of delight
froa the assembled multitude.
It was unanimously resolved to send the
following petition, which was numerously
signed, to the Governor of Texas:
To His Excsllzxct, Sax Houston, Gov-
moi or thx Stats or Texas :
The undersigned citizens of Washington
connty, Texas, in view of the election of
Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency of the
United States, as the representative em-
bodiment of Black Bepubtiean principles,
do earnestly request your Excellency to
oonvene the Legislature of the State at as
early a day as possible to consult and act
upon the condition of the country.
On motion the chair appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen, viz: John HcKnight, B.
J. Franklin, Wm. A. Dallas, W. J. Hale,
and T. T. Clay, a committee to present the
foregoing petition to every legal voter of
his beat for their signature.
TFXAS ITEMS.
A writer in the Belton Independent as he
says "Southern to the marror lone" (so)
takes the occasion of our devotion to Strife
rights and the safety of the South to make
some remarks of a personal character
about the editor hereof. We do not regard
this a time for bandying words, and if it
does the writer refered to any good to
abuse'ushe is welcome to do so. We have
had the same sort of abuse before, and have
got entirely used to it. Meanwhile we will
observe that if there is any Southern born
citizen of Texas who thinks he is any bet-
ter citizen than we are, any more devoted
to the good of the State, and truer to the
South and the institutipns of the South,
let him show it by his works, and if he will
not show it by his works let him be watched.
The same writer objects to the K. G. C. as
being a political military organization.—
That's all he knows about it! He further
says that the reports of the Texas troubles
were particularly spread by Breckenridge
editors, and that they have turned thous-
ands of slaveholders away from Texas.
That's a good deal more than he knows
about it! and is quite a different statement
than what is given by the papers of Eas-
tern Texas, all of which mention the rush
of immigration to the State.
•
The Anderson Texian says that a com-
pany of cavalry is already organized in
Anderson, iflid a company of infantry is
being made up.
The Texian calls the late opposition the
few-sion ticket.
The Texian complains of the mails. That
paper reached us last week on the day it
was published. The Galveston papers do
not make close connections at Houston for
reasons their editors very well know, but
will not publish. Of course we havn't a
word to say as it enables us to go the coun-
try ahead of them all the time.
A call signed by G6 of the best citizens
of Grimesjis published in the Texian for a
meeting to be held on the 22d inst, to give
expression to the public sentiment in that
county.
The Waco South West says that the Lone
Star Flag is now floating from many of the
business houses of Waco. The silver lone
star badge decorates the hats of many of
the citizens.
The Huntsville Item is out for disunion.
It never saw the necessity for annexation
in the first place. It says '*we think the
last straw has been laid on the camels back.
Hurrah for the Lone Star!"
The La Grange True Issue says that the
castle of E. G. C. at that place is steadily
increasing in numbers. It has now some
60 members, among whom may be found
the most respectable and enterprising citi-
zens of that county.
The Issue says that a black flag was rais-
ed at La Grange on hearing of Lincoln's
election.
The Issue speaking of certain papers
abusing the E. G. C. says:
It is strange that public journals insist
on persecuting an order so truly Southern,
and which has in view objects that, when
fully understood, no Southerner can object.
The True Issue says that the town of La
Grange is Tapidly improving. Many new
buildings are going up, and the thick growth
of live oak on the river bank is giving place
to neat and substantial cottages.
The Gonzales Inquirer contains a meet-
ing to organize a minute company in that
town. The meeting was addressed by
Rev. J. C. Wilson.
The Inquirer says it is folly to talk
about waiting for Lincoln to commit the
overt act. His election itself is the overt
act.
The South-West Extra says thatj on the
evening of the 16th inst., Old Abe was
rode on a rail, in that town, in effigy,
borne by two negroes, and was afterward
hung and burned on the public square.
The Seguin Union Democrat is for the
Union in spite of everything.
The State Gazette is proud to say that
the Lone Star flag has been raised in that
city, and is now floating in the breeze.
The Centerville Times has an article in
reference to the Harris County Mass Heet-
ing, under the head, " Cushing heads the
column." We have no desire to head col-
umns in anything, but when our duty puts
us there, we trust we shall never be found
wanting, let it lead where it may. We
shall only be too proud if it is always fol-
lowed by as respectable a "column" as it
was in the instaace referred to.
The Times says that Judge Gregg ad-
dressed the people there on the 13th inst.,
arguing in favor of resistance. Col. Du-
rant followed in the same strain. Judge
Jewett said that the argument with the
North was exhausted, and the appeal must
be to arms. CoL Whaley hoped that if the
present movement meant anything, the
people would take it in the hands of the
people. B. S. Gould endorsed what Judge
Gregg had said. The Times apparently
does not favor secession.

victim—the king possesses no more immunity from
the twinges of gout or neuralgia In his weather-proof

neither cure sickness nor preserve health—else It
would be a monopoly of the rich—on the contrary, the

exchange half his possessions for the robust constitu-

EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA
AND YELLOW DOCK,
Is a most unfailing Remedy for diseases of the

cheap and beneficial. Many pers ons are suffering
under diseases they cannot describe. Loss of Ap-
petite, Dimness of Sight, Wssting of Flesh, Weak*
ness of the Digestive Organs. Skin Eruptions, Salt
Rheum, Palpitation of the Heart, Sinking of the
Bowels, Incapacity for Study or Business, Rush of

Mercurial Diseases, Gout, ^female Complaints and
Irregularities, Boils and general Impurity of the

If these are your symptoms, this Sarsaparilla Com
pound will be very sure to relieve you. These
Complainta, if not soon cared for, assume a vital
form. People live in a course of luxury and ndul-
gence, as if they were not responsible for their own
lives. The change of seasons are neglected—their
colds arc neglected; the blood is neglected ; the
Diarrhoea is neglected. Young Females are not
cared for as they are passing the delicate periods
of their lives. Look at the racks of constitutions,

Messrs. Baehzs & Park—Gents: I feel it a duty
lowe to humanity, to say to you. that I have used
individually and in my famify, Dr. Guysott's Yel-
low Dock and 8 arsaparilla, and from the use of it
I find it fully answers all purposes forwhich it
is intended. Lately I have been brought very near-
the grave from a diseased liver, and from the use
of this invaluable medicine I have bean most sig-
nally relieved - An eminent physician, the other
day, remarked in my presence, that he consideren
this medicine as the very best of all the moderd
combinations. If this humble testimony of mine
will be of any use to you, you are atliberty to use
it in any way you may think proper.

HAIR INVIGORATOR,
An Effective, Safe and Economical Compound
Far Restoring Gray Hair to its original color
without dyeing, and preventing the Hair from turning
gray.
" JKor Preventing Baldness, and curing It, when
there is the least particle of vitality or recuperative
energy remaining.
For Removing Scarf ana Dandruff, and all
cutaneous affections oi the Scalp.
For Beautifying the Hair, Imparting to it an
unequalled gloss and brilliancy, making It soft and silky
in Its texture and causing it to curl readily.
The great celebrity and the Increasing demand for
this unequalled preparation, convince the proprietor
that one trial is only necessary to satisfy a discerning
public of its superior qualities over any other prepara-
tion at present in use. It cleanses the head and scalp
from darulruffand other cutaneous diseases, causes the
hair to grow luxuriantly, and gives it a rich, soft^glossy
and flexible appearance, and also where the hair Is
loosening and thinning, It will give strength and vigor
to the roots, and restore the growth to those parts
which have become bald, causing it to yield a fresh
covering qf hair.
There are hundreds of ladies and gentlemen in New
York who have had their hair restored by the use ot
this Invlgorator, when all other preparations had
failed. L. M. has In his possession letters innumera-
ble testifying to the above facts, from persons of the
highest respectability. It will effectually prevent the
hair from turning gray until the last period of life;
and in cases where the hair has already changed its
color, the use of the Invlgorator will with certainty
restore it to its original hue, giving It a dark, glossy ap-
pearance. As a perfume for the toliet and a Ilalr Re-
storative it Is particularly recommended, having an
agreeable fragrance; and the *reat facilities It atlbrds
In dressing the hair, which wheu moist with the Invl-
gorator can be dressoJ iu any required lorai so as to
preserve its place, whether Dlalu or in curls—hence
the ereat demand f r l>; the ladles as a standard
toilet article which -ve flight to be without, as the
price nlacas It withia I uc reach of all beloj?
Only Twenty-five Cents
per bottle, to be had at all respectable druggists' and
perfumers.
L. MILLER would call the attention of Parents and
Guardians to the useof his Invlgorator, in cases where
the children's hair luclines to be weak. The use of it
lays the foundation for a good head of hair, as It re-
moves any Impurities that may have become connected
with the scalp, the removal of which Is necessary, both
for the health of tho child, and the luture appearance
of its hair.

WIND MILLS.
P>R PUMPING Water from wells orstreams, of

These Mills regulate themselves, according, both to
the lntemdty of the wind and the fullness of the cistern
In a storm they present the edge of the blades to the
wind, and consequently can never be injured or blown
down. In a light breese the blades are ulr to the wind
and whatever the intensity or the wind, the speed Is al-
ways the same; and whenever the cistern is filled to any
desired depth, the edges of the blades are presented
to the breese, and the Mill stops. Accordingly, when
once set up and put to running, it needs no attention,
but will operate the year round like a thing of life.thus
drawing no more water than Is required.

Best Cotton Press Known
Occnpieslesss paoe
and economizes
power better than
any other Press
ever invented.
Bullocks Pat-
ent Inproved,
Progressive
Power Cotton
Press.
The undersigned
having obtained
the Kight of this
Press for the State,
woald submit it its
with many advan-
tages to the consid-
eration of the Planter sofTexas.
This Press is portable, weighing about
2,000 lbs., is very simple in its construction
and has the strength and capacity to pack
600 lbs. bales with ease. It occupies a
space of about 3 by 6 feet, and can be
placed under the Gin house, in the lint room
or outside the lint room as desired. It is
perfectly safe and will pack with six uands
from 30 to 60 bales per day, depending on
the expertness of the hands in tying the
robes. The power used is a lever on a
moveable fulcrum, which makes the power
progressive. As the resistance of the cotton
increases in the box, the power increases at
the same time, and makes the last turn of
the capstan easier than the first. The lever
is drawn up by a capstan and cable chain,
(no rope used about it) which runs it np at
five turns. One mule does the whole work.
We fully guarantee this press to do all
we say it will, if it does not, we will take it
away and refund the money.
Price $250 cash, delivered in Galveston.
